It’s no secret that SignWorks partner’s with Gemini to furnish state of the art dimensional letter lobby signs and plaques, and for good reason! The quality of these products and the lifetime pass through warranty they carry is hard to beat. This makes metal lettering, which is extremely popular and is always in style, an excellent choice. Dimensional letters convey professionalism and prosperity and come in a variety of fonts and finishes. They often include shapes and logos, as well as the lettering that spells out the company name and/or tag line. The four broad categories from which to choose:
Cast Metal Letters: The letters are created in a mold and are three dimensional. They provide a sense of depth and convey a prominent professional image. The finishes include oxidized, anodized, aluminum and polished. You will often see cast bronze or aluminum lettering on the outside of professional buildings and banks, as well as legal entities.
Flat Cut Metal Letters: These lettering options is typically more affordable than cast metal and includes steel, copper, brass, bronze and aluminum. In fact, unique shapes can be fashioned using a custom art file therefore you are not limited by a set template. They also come in a variety of thicknesses and are appropriate for outdoor as well as indoor use.
Metal Laminate Acrylic Letters: When a metal laminate is mounted to acrylic (or a sign foam base) so that the surface appears to be metal, the result is usually a saving over lettering that is metal through and through. The result is a light weight letter that is perfect for indoors and can even be fabricated to withstand the exterior elements. This choice is very budget friendly!
Metal Channel Letters: Three dimensional metal channel letters convey both quality and craftsmanship and they look amazing in or outdoors. When made from stainless steel or aluminum they are long lasting rust free alternative. Their creative potential is phenomenal!
